Go Team Nuun!

I've become a big fan of the Nuun active hydration products in the last few months, much in thanks to other trail runners who recommended it. One tablet dropped into your water bottle creates an electrolyte-filled drink with just enough flavor to cure the taste buds (you can read the science here). Very easy to carry too. Honestly, I'm a little embarrassed I hadn't found them earlier.

Anyway, it's a privilege to be associated with a great company, product, and team. I look forward to seeing you team members out there this season! Hopefully I'm not getting too NASCAR-like with my logos now, but I wouldn't endorse anything I don't swear by. Now if I can just get the folks at Sierra Nevada Pale Ale to return my calls...I bet AJW is up for that team! Any other takers?

Congrats on yet another good sponsorship! You serve all your sponsors well and your results are much better than you think they are!

Regarding Sierra Nevada Pale Ale sponsorship; they sponsored (maybe still do?) a darn good Nor Cal cycling team for several years so they definitely are game when it comes to that sort of thing! I vote you do the 'foot' work to get the ball rolling, I'm sure you'd have no shortage of aspiring runners that would want to be part of that team when you've sealed the deal!

Better go...my daughter needs me to play princesses with her! Get ready for that Scott, it's not to far off!

Scottsorry I missed telling you about them, I've been using them this past year and love them. I have given so many away to get people to try them it's crazy. I had their tatoo on my bicep and calf at WS100 last year (I'd almost get a real one, I like the stuff so much)Enjoy it.

ikes - if you let it sit for a while the fizz goes away. I usually drop one in my bottle when I start getting ready to go for a run and by the time I'm ready to drink, the fizz is gone and it's just a pleasant taste.Bev A-A

I take a Vespa as instructed before an ultra, then use Nuun for hydration because it doesn't have any sugar in it, which would defeat the purpose of the Vespa. After an hour, I sparingly add gels. Nuun also works to hydrate you if you had too many Sierra Nevadas the night before. Congrats on your 50k PB!That's awesome at your age.(Ha ha,I'm 51).Digger

About Me

I'm a technology entrepreneur who took up trail running and triathloning back in 2001 to get off the work treadmill and see a bit more of the outdoors. I also love to eat, so the exercise helps me justify those extra helpings. ;oP I'm always interested in learning more about trail running - please comment and link away!
